DESCRIPCIONDESCRIPTION
Contenedor flexible con abertura de dispensado Campo de la invencionFlexible container with dispensing opening Field of the invention
La presente invencion se refiere, en general, a contenedores flexibles y, de manera mas particular, a contenedores flexibles para almacenar y dispensartoallitas humedas o cualquier otro producto similar. Espedficamente, se describe un contenedor flexible sellado por sus extremos con una abertura de dispensado con una disposicion adecuada para permitir dispensar toallitas humedas o cualquier otro producto similar de uno en uno, sin arrastrar el producto siguiente hacia fuera del contenedor.The present invention relates, in general, to flexible containers and, more particularly, to flexible containers for storing and dispensing wet wipes or any other similar product. Specifically, a flexible container sealed at its ends with a dispensing opening with a suitable arrangement to allow dispensing wet wipes or any other similar product one at a time without dragging the next product out of the container is described.
Antecedentes de la invencionBackground of the invention
Actualmente, se usan una pluralidad de contenedores flexibles para toallitas humedas, entre los mas comunes encontramos los referentes a toallitas humedas en una disposicion de apilado vertical que estan contenidas en un contenedor desechable flexible e impermeable de plastico envolvente. La envoltura se puede abrir y colocar dentro del contenedor principal para cargar el contenedor principal con toallitas humedas. Otro tipo de envases de uso comun, son los contenedores de toallitas humedas cilmdricos, los cuales estan conformados por un cuerpo principal rigido, cuya parte superior presenta una tapa plegable que da acceso al interior del contenedor, lo que permite el dispensado de toallitas humedas a traves de una abertura superior formada por una perforacion que forma una “ventana” flexible que permite sacar una sola toallita a la vez. Otro tipo mas de contenedores para toallitas humedas se refiere a los contenedores del tipo que comprende un contenedor rigido de forma sustancialmente ovalada cuya cara superior permite el dispensado de toallitas humedas a traves de una abertura que, a su vez, esta cubierta por una tapa plegable.Currently, a plurality of flexible containers for wet wipes are used, among the most common are those referring to wet wipes in a vertical stacking arrangement that are contained in a flexible and waterproof disposable plastic wrap container. The wrapper can be opened and placed inside the main container to load the main container with wet wipes. Another type of containers for common use, are the containers of cylindrical wet wipes, which are formed by a rigid main body, whose upper part has a folding lid that gives access to the inside of the container, which allows the dispensing of wet wipes to through an upper opening formed by a perforation that forms a flexible "window" that allows to remove only one wipe at a time. Another type of containers for wet wipes refers to containers of the type comprising a substantially oval-shaped rigid container whose upper face allows the dispensing of wet wipes through an opening which, in turn, is covered by a folding lid .
Existen actualmente varias propuestas de contenedores. Por ejemplo, en la patente estadounidense 2.118.380 se describe un contenedor rigido para panuelos desechables, el cual tiene forma sustancialmente rectangular y presenta un extremo superior con una zona de tapa definida mediante una linea perimetral frangible que comprende una parte superior del contendor y una parte superior de una de las caras laterales.There are currently several container proposals. For example, in US Patent 2,118,380 a rigid container for disposable handkerchiefs is described, which is substantially rectangular in shape and has an upper end with a lid area defined by a frangible perimeter line comprising an upper part of the container and a upper part of one of the side faces.
Una desventaja del contenedor de la patente estadounidense 2.118.380 radica en el uso de un contenedor rigido, el cual requiere cierto entrelazado del producto contenido, ya que, al no ser flexible el contenedor, no se permite acceder al producto una vez que comienza a vaciarse el contenedor. Ademas, la tapa del contenedor de la patente estadounidense 2.118.380, no es reutilizable como en la presente invencion por lo que, de contener toallitas humedas, se veria mermada su vida util a causa de la contaminacion y la perdida de locion al estar expuestas al entorno.A disadvantage of the container of US Patent 2,118,380 lies in the use of a rigid container, which requires some interlacing of the contained product, since, since the container is not flexible, access to the product is not allowed once it begins to empty the container In addition, the lid of the container of US Patent 2,118,380, is not reusable as in the present invention so, if it contains wet wipes, its useful life would be reduced due to contamination and loss of lotion when exposed to the environment
En la patente estadounidense n° 2.529.853 se describe un contenedor para panuelos desechables que presenta una abertura que comprende una porcion de la parte superior y una porcion de una de las caras laterales del contenedor. Dicho contenedor de la patente estadounidense 2.529.853 permite el dispensado de panuelos desechables gracias a un doblez formado en los extremos de los mismos, ya que, al ser un contenedor rigido y no flexible, no es posible llegar al fondo del mismo cuando esta practicamente vado. Asimismo, dicho contendor no cuenta con una tapa reutilizable que permita cubrir el contendido cuando no se va a usar, con lo que existe el riesgo de contaminacion del producto por el entorno.In US Patent No. 2,529,853 a container for disposable handkerchiefs is described which has an opening comprising a portion of the upper part and a portion of one of the side faces of the container. Said container of US Patent 2,529,853 allows the dispensing of disposable handkerchiefs thanks to a fold formed at the ends thereof, since, being a rigid and non-flexible container, it is not possible to reach the bottom thereof when it is practically ford. Likewise, said container does not have a reusable lid that allows the content to be covered when it is not going to be used, thus there is a risk of contamination of the product by the environment.
En la solicitud de patente europea n° 0399830 se describe un contenedor para panuelos desechables que permite dispensar panuelos desechables gracias a la friccion que se ejerce al entrar en contacto los extremos superiores del contenedor. Mientras que el contenedor que se describe en la solicitud de patente EP 0399830 usa un medio de “friccion” para el dispensado del producto, permitiendo de ese modo la extraccion de una sola hoja a la vez, dicho contenedor requiere un mecanismo mas elaborado, ya que requiere una ranura de dispensado solo en una de las caras del contenedor, y un mecanismo de “empuje”, el cual mantiene una presion constante ejercida sobre los extremos de la ranura de dispensado para lograr el coeficiente de friccion necesario que permita realizar la funcion de dispensar una sola hoja a la vez.European Patent Application No. 0399830 describes a container for disposable handkerchiefs that allows dispensing disposable handkerchiefs thanks to the friction that is exerted upon contacting the upper ends of the container. While the container described in patent application EP 0399830 uses a "friction" means for dispensing the product, thereby allowing the extraction of only one sheet at a time, said container requires a more elaborate mechanism, since which requires a dispensing groove only on one of the faces of the container, and a "push" mechanism, which maintains a constant pressure exerted on the ends of the dispensing groove to achieve the necessary friction coefficient that allows the function to be performed. of dispensing only one sheet at a time.
En el documento EP 2347971 A1 se describe un envase que se puede volver a cerrar, segun el preambulo de la reivindicacion 1 adjunta. Dicho envase esta adaptado para alimentos y tiene una abertura de dispensado formada por una ranura que se extiende a traves de porciones superiores opuestas de ambas caras laterales y a traves de toda la cara superior del mismo.EP 2347971 A1 describes a container that can be closed again, according to the preamble of claim 1 attached. Said container is adapted for food and has a dispensing opening formed by a groove that extends through opposite upper portions of both side faces and across the entire upper face thereof.

La figura 1 muestra una vista en perspectiva de un contenedor flexible que esta conformado por un cuerpo principal (1a) de material plastico.Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a flexible container that is formed by a main body (1a) of plastic material.
El cuerpo principal (1a) del contenedor flexible presenta una forma sustancialmente rectangular, conformado por una cara superior (5), una cara inferior (5a) y caras laterales (6), cuyos extremos cortos (2) estan sellados entre si mediante un proceso de termosellado o cualquier otro proceso de sellado de uso comun. Una perforacion (3) define una trayectoria perimetral de forma sustancialmente ovalada (sin limitarse a esa forma), para formar una zona de desprendimiento (4) formada por un punto ubicado en la cara superior (5) del contenedor flexible (1) y se proyecta hacia una de las caras laterales (6) del contenedor flexible (1). La zona de desprendimiento (4) formada mediante la perforacion (3), esta cubierta por un sello flexible (9) que esta conformado por una lengueta sustancialmente rectangular (sin limitarse a esa forma) que sobrepasa la longitud y la anchura de la zona de desprendimiento (4). Una pestana de apertura (10) esta formada en uno de los extremos libres del sello flexible (9) para facilitar el desprendimiento del mismo.The main body (1a) of the flexible container has a substantially rectangular shape, formed by an upper face (5), a lower face (5a) and lateral faces (6), whose short ends (2) are sealed together by a process heat sealing or any other common use sealing process. A perforation (3) defines a substantially oval shaped perimeter path (without being limited to that shape), to form a detachment zone (4) formed by a point located on the upper face (5) of the flexible container (1) and is projects towards one of the side faces (6) of the flexible container (1). The detachment zone (4) formed by the perforation (3), is covered by a flexible seal (9) that is formed by a substantially rectangular tongue (without being limited to that shape) that exceeds the length and width of the area of detachment (4). An opening flange (10) is formed at one of the free ends of the flexible seal (9) to facilitate its detachment.
La figura 2 muestra una vista en perspectiva del contenedor flexible (1), el cual esta conformado por una cara superior (5), una cara inferior (5a) y caras laterales (6).Figure 2 shows a perspective view of the flexible container (1), which is formed by an upper face (5), a lower face (5a) and lateral faces (6).
En la figura 2 se puede apreciar la zona de desprendimiento (4) sin el sello flexible (9) (vease la figura 1). Dicha zona de desprendimiento (4) esta conformada del mismo material que el contenedor flexible (1) definiendo una sola pieza que presenta un perimetro definido por la perforacion (3) para, posteriormente, desprenderla con el sello superior flexible (9) que se describira mas adelante.Figure 2 shows the detachment zone (4) without the flexible seal (9) (see figure 1). Said detachment zone (4) is formed of the same material as the flexible container (1) defining a single piece that has a perimeter defined by the perforation (3) to subsequently detach it with the flexible upper seal (9) to be described. later.
La figura 3 muestra una vista en perspectiva del contenedor flexible (1), en la que el sello flexible (9) se ha extraido con la pestana de apertura (10). Se puede apreciar que la zona de desprendimiento (4) queda unida a la parte inferior del sello superior flexible (9) para formar una abertura de dispensado (11), que permite el acceso a las toallitas humedas (12). La abertura de dispensado (11) tiene una porcion superior (7) y una porcion inferior (8).Figure 3 shows a perspective view of the flexible container (1), in which the flexible seal (9) has been removed with the opening flange (10). It can be seen that the detachment zone (4) is attached to the lower part of the flexible upper seal (9) to form a dispensing opening (11), which allows access to the wet wipes (12). The dispensing opening (11) has an upper portion (7) and a lower portion (8).
Como se muestra en la figura 3, el sello flexible (9) tiene un adhesivo sensitivo (13) en toda su longitud y anchura, con excepcion de la pestana de apertura (10). El sello flexible (9) es mas largo y ancho que la abertura de dispensado (11) de manera que, el sello flexible (9) esta pegado al contenedor flexible (1) sobre la zona de desprendimiento (4) que esta formada mediante la perforacion (3), y al abrirlo por primera vez, dicha perforacion (3) se desprende y la zona de desprendimiento (4) queda adherida a la parte inferior del sello superior flexible (9) para permitir que el contenedor flexible (1) se pueda abrir y cerrar nuevamente por medio del sello flexible (9), cuantas veces sea necesario para dispensar las toallitas humedas (12). Cada vez que se cierra, la zona de desprendimiento (4) pegada al sello superior flexible (9), queda ubicada sobre la abertura de dispensado (11) de manera que las toallitas (12) no se contaminen con el adhesivo (13) del sello flexible (9).As shown in Figure 3, the flexible seal (9) has a sensitive adhesive (13) throughout its length and width, with the exception of the opening flange (10). The flexible seal (9) is longer and wider than the dispensing opening (11) so that the flexible seal (9) is glued to the flexible container (1) on the detachment zone (4) that is formed by the perforation (3), and when opened for the first time, said perforation (3) detaches and the detachment zone (4) adheres to the bottom of the flexible upper seal (9) to allow the flexible container (1) to can be opened and closed again by means of the flexible seal (9), as many times as necessary to dispense the wet wipes (12). Each time it is closed, the detachment zone (4) attached to the flexible upper seal (9) is located over the dispensing opening (11) so that the wipes (12) do not become contaminated with the adhesive (13) of the flexible seal (9).
El principal objetivo de la invencion, segun las realizaciones que se muestran en los dibujos, es proporcionar un contenedor flexible para toallitas humedas no entrelazadas, apiladas dentro del contenedor, que permite dispensar una sola toallita a la vez. Esto se logra mediante la disposicion de la abertura de dispensado (11) en combinacion con la forma de doblar las toallitas antes de introducirlas en el contenedor.The main objective of the invention, according to the embodiments shown in the drawings, is to provide a flexible container for non-interwoven wet wipes, stacked inside the container, which allows dispensing only one wipe at a time. This is achieved by arranging the dispensing opening (11) in combination with the way of folding the wipes before inserting them into the container.
La abertura de dispensado (11) esta formada desde un punto ubicado en la cara superior (5) del contenedor flexible (1) y se proyecta hacia una de las caras laterales (6) del contenedor flexible (1), definiendo de ese modo una porcion superior (7) y una porcion inferior (8) de la abertura. Gracias a dicha disposicion, la abertura de dispensado (11) permite sacar la toallita superior (12) del contenedor flexible (1) mediante el doblez (12c) de la misma. La extraccion de cada una de las toallitas humedas hace que el contenedor haga “friccion” con las toallitas facilitando su extraccion de una en una sin la necesidad de medios ajenos, como mecanismos de empuje de resorte. Dicha funcion se repite cada vez sin importar el numero de toallitas contenidas.The dispensing opening (11) is formed from a point located on the upper face (5) of the flexible container (1) and projects towards one of the lateral faces (6) of the flexible container (1), thereby defining a upper portion (7) and a lower portion (8) of the opening. Thanks to said arrangement, the dispensing opening (11) allows the upper wipe (12) to be removed from the flexible container (1) by means of the fold (12c) thereof. The extraction of each of the wet wipes causes the container to "friction" with the wipes facilitating their extraction one at a time without the need of other means, such as spring thrust mechanisms. This function is repeated each time regardless of the number of wipes contained.
Con respecto a la abertura de dispensado (11), se realizaron una serie de pruebas para determinar las dimensiones minimas y preferentes para llevar a cabo la funcion de dispensar toallitas, logrando el coeficiente de friccion necesario para su correcto desprendimiento. La tabla 1 muestra los parametros minimos y preferentes de la abertura de dispensado de forma esquematica y resumida.With respect to the dispensing opening (11), a series of tests were carried out to determine the minimum and preferred dimensions to carry out the function of dispensing wipes, achieving the coefficient of friction necessary for its correct detachment. Table 1 shows the minimum and preferred parameters of the dispensing opening schematically and summarily.
